Barrage me with constructive abuse
without showing results, and feel I'm about to get a barrage of abuse (maybe rightly so) I'm posting this single hand. I feel i have butchered it. Literally. But something just didn't feel right. Right from pre-flop normally I'm like we have QQ, he's 3bet he likes his hand, value jam get called by 44.
However right from this action i clicked all my buttons to do exactly that and something in my head said, "Not this time". On the flop again rather wet but was like I'll assess the turn. Wet turn sigh, give up. He checks again on river, and again i go to value bet my QQ. Obviously i stopped and thought, "what calls me?" but again it just felt so horrible.
I feel i butchered it all the same. Would like some thoughts.

i think the check on the turn says he has a rag ace as many players will call/raise with any ace.
for me i would pot it and on the turn but put him all in on the river.
i may be wrong but AK would be my best read but if your gut instict was A8 then it was great play
On the river, I like the check behind, I would have done the same because of board texture.
I know a lot of players might say, raise the river and fold 2 a reraise, But it's just such a scarey board. Plus it is hard for him to call with a hand that doesn't beat us. Check it down, if we won brilliant, if not we havnt lost that much. And just get on with the next hand.
In my opinion, it's all good.
As played, flat the flop and checkback turn is fine, I probably bet/fold river about £1 but checking back aint that bad either.
bet river
normally when he does a raise preflop you can be confident that he probably has a picture pair or AA.
I agree with the call on the flop because he might be holding AK AQ.
when he checks the turn the chances are he has give up AK/Q, also he probably is thinking that you will fold unless you hold the straight yourself.
when he then goes on to check the river you should have a shot at it yourself because hands such as AK/Q are folding for sure and if he is going to make a call with AA and KK the likelihood is he will call with 1010 and JJ, if he still makes the call with AA and KK you can just put a note saying he is never likely to give up AA or KK
